Hey, Happy Birthday, Brad!

I dunno, Jim...that "hint of mustache" scares me...

I must admit to being a bit curious about this one. However, when I'm holding it in my hand at the store, I'm sure the thought that everyone who has heard it seems to despise it will plop it back down in the bins. Who am I to think I'd be the first to like it?

So has anyone heard, from news sources or others what exactly the drop is, after they take away co-op advertising and incentives to retailers? Is there a drop?

Let's face it; some of us enjoy cooking, and some of us don't. But if you're going to bother with the mess and inconvenience of cooking, you don't want to make another clone of Aunt Sarah's godawful meatloaf! You need something special, to entertain both your guests and your palate. With that in mind, I give you a very special website devoted to culinary masterpieces unlike any you've enjoyed before...

The remains of her last date. KEEP.....YOUR....DISTANCE!!!!!

Yeah, the local news last night was playing up the "how shocking" angle. Now, if he'd been attacked by a zebra, I'd have been shocked. But a tiger??

That's why I really don't care for these so-called "realistic movies"'; they twist the facts completely out of recognition. I mean come on, who's going to believe that?

How do you know if you've had too much to drink? If this looks like Betty Page to you, you shoulda stopped a sixpack ago...

That would be awesome!!

Yeah, that was a cool one. I always thought Monty Hall had a mean streak on that show, but then that was why I liked it!

My earliest TV memories are watching Concentration with my mom. Wasn't that Bill Cullen? It was so long ago, and so early in life, it's hard to remember. I'll never forget the moment that hooked me on my alltime favorite game show forever, though. I had just turned 9, and my grandmother asked me the "Final Jeapordy" answer (back in the Art Fleming days, of course!), and by some chance I knew the question (The answer was something like "In addition to the fame he received for his role leading to the Revolutionary War, he was a famous silversmith, or something like that...) Anyway, I realize now that it was one of the easy ones, but knowing the "big question" on the show made me feel pretty cocky, and I became a Jeapordy fan. Still am, and I'm still one of those annoying people who shouts out the answers while watching. Hey, everyone's entitled to one annoying habit!

First of all, thanks for mentioning this on the "now listening" thread, EKE BBB! Body and Soul just started playing... I have the first two sets you picture above, and I must admit that the pops and snaps always annoy me during the first song, but after that I don't even hear them. When I first purchased the newest version, I was afraid I'd prefer the first, so I still have both. Yet I grabbed the newest without even thinking about it today. So I guess I must prefer the new one, pops and all!

Ah, the old Hollywood Squares! Great stuff, and it really shows how CRAPPY the new one is. I checked it out once, and it felt like watching an animated corpse... As for Match Game, that show wouldn't have been half as good without Gene Rayburn's leer!

I agree, Simon. Any time someone announces that they've figured out what it's really all about, get ready for an oversimplification!

Ah...Romeo Void... I'd better get off this thread, or I may decide to chuck all this jazz crap and rediscover my youth...

I still maintain that the "post meter" is broken! Unless what it does is keep a "24 hour average" or something...

Okay, I am no expert here, and I've only read the Communist Manifesto a couple of times, but it seems to me that the failure of communism can be laid directly at the feet of Lenin and others who were there at the beginning. Hopefully someone more knowledgable about Marx's theories can correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that he viewed communism as a natural outgrowth of the current (at that time) situation, not something that could be artificially brought about by revolution ala Lenin and the gang. Secondly, the idea that communism would work in an agrarian society like Russia just seems to fly in the face of what Marx said. It seems to me that any society had to go through industrialization prior to the arrival of communism. Therefore, the logical place for communism to rise would have been Great Britain, not Russia. But then, as I say, I'm no expert and I may be reading it all wrong...

I always get it twice as well. Weird... Anyway, what are the Plaxico and Rosnes discs all about? I must confess I've never heard of them.

Damn! And just when I found out what an anorak was...

Well hell, unless you wear socks with sandals, it's almost impossible not to be hipper than I am...

I completely agree, John; I hope they don't feel that it would be unethical to do so, because I certainly don't. Uh...Free For All (notice it didn't begin the post!), as you assume, I really wasn't taking it that seriously. I just thought it was amusing.

Okay, I'm misinterpreting the question as well, or at least my youthful prejudices are showing. "Back in the day" (today's version of "when I was your age"...), at least in my crowd of New Wave fans, we looked at our music as a continuation of the Punk revolution against earlier rock. So when I think "reaction to New Wave", I'm thinking of dinosaur bands fighting back against the New Wavers. In other words, I think of stuff I despise, like big hair rock, that was the response to....wait a minute. I just realized something. We weren't "New Wavers"; we were "Mods". Shit, no wonder we liked Quadrephenia Anyway, you can see how my prejudicial thinking of the time (I see the above as all pretty silly now, believe me!) affected my responses...

jmjk, I remember liking Ride a Rock Horse (if I remember right) when it came out, but I never met anyone else who did...

I completely agree with you, Mule. There are sales people out there who are incompetent, lazy, angry, and really the bottom of the barrell. You'd almost think no one wanted a job that paid minimum wage and involved strangers coming up to you and yelling at you for things you have no control over... Seriously, I understand your point. I'm going to end up sounding like my father (and probably everyone elses father!) here, but one problem is that for a lot of these people, it's their first job, and they really don't have a effing clue as to what it is that they're supposed to do. You'd think they'd be able to figure it out from having been on the other side of the counter, but no, that involves too much thinking...
